12.03.2013 - Angola wealth fund looks to invest in Southern Africa |
The son of Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos says the countrys new $5bn sovereign wealth fund will look for investment opportunities in South Africa and the region as it bids to grow the returns that are key to improving infrastructure in the oil-rich nation. Jose Filomeno de Sousa dos Santos, director for strategy at the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Angola better known by its Portuguese acronym FSDEA says the funds priority is to invest in industries, manufacturing and infrastructure. It is keen to put that cash in Angolan projects, as well as those of key ally South Africa, and possibly western economies...............................................Full Article: Source |

The free to play market has been in the news a lot the last several days between TERA's rising numbers and SWTOR's proclamation that its high density servers are teeming. But is all the news really so rosy? Are there other questions that need answering before we proclaim success? In The Free Zone today, we take a look at that. See what we've got on our mind before telling us what's on yours in the comments. Read more of Richard Aihoshi's The Free Zone: More Questions Than Answers. Associate Editor: MMORPG.com |
Depends how you define success though, if its an increase, no matter what, then it can be considered a success. If its more money generated it could be a success. Either way its hard to say as we all know EVERY MMO using it as a marketting ploy to tote improvements, often tiems giving incomplete numbers on purpose. I mean hell most popular we see the 'server population' being used, never with exact numbers but with those 'Low, Medium, Full' numbers which a lot of games use, a good example of a recent title I can recall is Guildwars 2, and its probably far from the last one that will do this and there will be plenty more. It creates an illusion of popularity with the ability to manipulate what 'defines' the population being at that level so High can mean anywhere from (out of 100) lets say 40-100 users, while medium might be 10-39. Its a marketting ploy that probably no game will ever really stop using. |
>"It happens that I'm a naturally pretty inquisitive." >"for which I'll never know the answers but that I'm curious about anyway. What on your mind these days in this vein? " Grammar police: "Battons ready..." - MMO publishers are like politicians, they'll say anything and promise everything to get your "vote" and appear as if what they say is in tune with the whole earth and use statistics and damn lies interchangeably. ;) |
There's a distinct difference between a rise in continuous revenue and new players creating accounts. They're not giving us the information to distinguish that point; as well as they shouldn't for their own sake. Furthermore, I'd love to see how persistent the revenue is after the honeymoon period for curious onlookers is over. I doubt SWTOR will drastically improve or be declared a success - it's too entrenched and has embittered too many people. As for Sevencore, it's another generic MMO with poor business planning. We don't need more of those games on the market. The talent behind it could be better used elsewhere.

All I got to say about swtor is torstatus.net tell it all. They can claim they got tons of folks but the fact don't support those statements. |
It's all about perception. If potential buyers view the product as positive/healthy, they are more likely to purchase it. I don't think MMOs are much different. People see the game has a healthy population and rising - "It must be good." This brings in more customers. People see the game on the decline and even more people currently playing then jump ship. I think it's why people like to use population in forum posts. It can actually contribute or bring population damage to the game. There doesn't have to be a fire to make someone think there is. |
There are so many gray areas in these interpretations. Like you say, it's all about phrasing. I think the developers were only "no longer able to support" Sevencore in so far as the game wasn't doing very well. Or at least that's my guess judging from the amount of "Where is everybody?" comments on their Facebook. :) But for reference, here's the latino opening of the game: http://es.sc.ignitedgames.com/center/opening.asp :D |
You're comparing Tera to Sevencore? What....
BTW, there's a Sevencore ad at the top of this page. -.-
I don't know about playing as a new f2p player in Tera, but they were very generous to returning customers that bought the game. If you bought the game and haven't gone back, you should check it out again (unless you really hated it). It didn't feel like the game changed too much on the surface, but the Founder status felt like a big thank-you to customers that paid for the game. SWTOR on the other hand... I can understand not being as generous as Tera, but these guys did not care if you previously spent any money on the game. There are so many restrcitions to anyone playing the game that it feels like a true trial. The only nice thing they did was let you play the story line for free (and everyone gets that). I understand that f2p games can't survive if no one pays for anything, but you could just feel the greed seeping out of your monitor. |
If a single player is allowed to freeboat all the way through then I will never touch that game and I will stay clear from it. The only thing being different is LoL where each match you start with nothing but a few worthless passives and each match starts with 0 gold and 0 items.

Originally posted by BlueTiger33 you are anti f2p and anti f2p supporters yet defend the most successful f2p game of all time, League of Legends. Your reasons for defending it are excuses. LoL is successful because they do it right. That means any other F2P can be as successful if they do it right. And you agree with that (from LoL) but disagree with taht for every otehr mmo. You are just confused. |
Originally posted by rojo6934 It's the only game where the only progression is put on the back burner in 2 things, 1 a level (elo) and 2 passives. You start each match with nothing. That model is easy to work and skin. That's all they do. Now, if you log into a MMO/MMORPG and start with nothing on each login...i doubt that engine would last very long. |
Again? Is anyone claiming to be worthy of writting for an MMORPG website going to actually LOOK at the entire market? Nexon Inc, Perfect World, NDoors....there are SO MANY F2P game makers that make MORE money than western MMO makers it is just plain nuts that anyone claiming knowledge of this genre still thinks F2P is some unproven fad. |
Originally posted by JasonJ I would agree with you if it wasn't for the considerable number of cash shop based games closing their servers in the last 6 months. IMHO, I think these types of games could forge a niche in the market, but almost all the publishers are doing it wrong. Cash shop based games are fun until you hit the P2W wall, and they just suck after that. |
I'd gladly pay for free/buy to play games, not having the money to pay subscriptions to 3 or 5 games at once sucks, buy one game and feel free to log on anytime I wish is the best... I think games should be buy to play preferably and sell quest/map packs and expansions... Of course, subscription games were nice back in EQ1 times, when I was paying for one game first, then two with Final Fantasy 11 Online, and then 3 with Everquest 2, and then 4 with World of Warcraft, and then rotational cancel to fit in Star Wars Galaxies, and then switch merge for Station pass, and then cancel WoW/Final Fantasy 11 Online/Eq1 and Station Access cancel to save money for EQ2, and then resub to WoW later after Star Wars Galaxies cancelled and of course I didn't get to play Vanguard much because it wasn't worth a subscription fee, if they had been buy to play on Vanguard, I'd have been there along with my loyalty to EQ1 and EQ2... In fact, I loved the idea of Station Pass and tried to keep that going for awhile... In the end, I had to miss out on a lot because I don't have money for subscriptions, so long live buy to play... |
Thats because you probably didnt get deep enough in any of them. I played one single mmo for like some years because i could not play more (games at all) with the time and commitment these games requre. Im not hardcore mmo player by any means, but to get into decent mmo at some middle level, in my books you need no lees than 20 hours a week. Ofc i played more then 1 mmo but never 2 simultaneously.
The trouble with most of these announcements is that you almost never (probably closer to never get a follow up 6 or 12 months later e.g. DDO, DCU etc. (other than it's closing). So what are we being told - other than people sign up to try f2p games? TERRA: more elite status players than they had full time subscribers before they went f2p. OK that's positive but - as mentioned in the article - no hard data. And the lack of full time subscribers they had previously was, presumably, they went f2p. If they had said "we now have twice as many" then one might have felt a little more positive. SWTOR: so the big news here is that they signed up less f2p accounts in 4 months worldwide (2M) than they sold full price boxes (2.3M) in EU/US. Not sure that counts as positive. And subsequently they have announced that they are closing the APAC servers. People in APAC countries not like Star Wars? For comparison: SoE annnounced 10M+ for both Clone Wars anf Free Realms; League of Legends announced 60M (or was it 70M) last year and Runescape over 200M. Zynga's trials and tribulations show that F2P is not an instant route to fame and fortune. Churn is high, average spend is low; good f2p games make money; poor ones fall by the wayside. |
Yea...imo f2p will only last until the majority of whales get tired of paying so others can play the same game for free. I actively search for p2p games worth playing, I'd rather support a game that values it's loyal, paying customers than one that chases after the big numbers just to raise their share value. |

The City of Heroes closure taught us a lot about how games are going to be portrayed and closed in the future. It used to be that we'd receive signs that a game was slowing down development. New players would become rare. Servers would become barren. Development would slow down or stop. And even still, the game might linger along for a few years. Those days are probably over. For the new "go go" attitude the Asians taught us in MMO development, that just won't do. This new attitude is all about getting a game to its "best days" as early as possible, making hay while the sun shines, and throwing it under the bus as soon as it slows down. It's going to become harder for consumers to know they are playing a "dead game walking" until it is too late. You might see press releases about upcoming plans, producer statements about the number of accounts, and every indication that the game is healthy. And then, WHAM!, they'll hit you with the cancellation notice, close down the item store, and throw everybody out. Why is it going to be this way? Because nobody likes to throw money into a game that looks like its seen its best days. Knowing that the boom can be lowered on a player, at any time, makes players wary already. When they see the telltale signs of a game slowdown, they will only increase this cautious attitude, and may even cause them to cut their losses and go to a healthier game. Which is why players are never going to see it coming, until its too late. I mean, for all we know, the game we are playing right now might be slated for cancellation, and neither we--nor the developers who are overseeing the game--might even know. Because in this business, where you are at is not as important as where you are going. And if where your game is going is on the wrong side of its peak, your game is running on borrowed time. __________________________ "...when it comes to pimping EVE I have little restraints."

Mount Neota, the namesake peak of the Neota Wilderness, sits as the northeastern most mountain in the Never Summer Range. Usually climbed along with Thunder and Lulu mountains, Neota is nothing more than a small bump on the otherwise gentle tundra slope leading northwest up Thunder Mountain. Mount Neota lies along the border of RMNP and the Neota Wilderness, Grand and Larimer counties, and the Continental Divide. Because of its low elevation and indistinct summit, Mount Neota receives the least amount of attention of the three mountains near it, despite the great views from the top. Neota is the 84th highest peak in RMNP, according to Mountain Jim's Summits of Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park.Elevation: 11734'
Elevation Gain: 1559' (From La Poudre Pass)
Mileage: 1.4 (From La Poudre Pass)
Latitude: N40 28.976
Longitude: W105 50.625
Reaching Mount Neota
As said before, Mount Neota is often climbed as a side trip to the larger summits of Thunder and Lulu mountains. Doing so can be done from two different starting points, Thunder Pass and La Poudre Pass. From Thunder Pass, Neota can be summited by either climbing up Lulu and Thunder mountains then descending to the small highpoint that is Mount Neota, or by skirting the two mountains in a semi-direct route via the saddles between Lulu-Thunder and Thunder-Neota. This route is the more popular, as there is minimal bushwhacking and requires just a walk across talus and tundra.From La Poudre Pass, a little more route-finding skill is required. Because Mount Neota lies along the well marked RMNP border, one can simply follow the small rectangular white signs that guide you to the summit. At the gate at La Poudre Pass, look carefully for these small signs just a few feet to the south. Once the border is located, play connect the dots with these signs upward for about 1000' in elevation to a relatively low treeline. As the trees thin, gain the summit ridge at about 11500', a scramble up the loose, sandy dirt that characterizes the area. When this ridge is gained, the hike becomes a simple walk over broken tundra following sign posts to the small summit hill, denoted by a clearly visible cairn and bush to the northeast on the hill. If descending by the boundary line, take care to intersect the Grand Ditch road north of the La Poudre Pass patrol cabin, as there is no bridge over the ditch upstream for 3 miles.
Getting There
Mount Neota can be reached from either the American Lakes TH, or the La Poudre Pass trailhead, located at the end of Long Draw road off CO 14Red Tape
Depending on your route, you may be hiking through RMNP, Colorado State Forest State Park, or the Neota Wilderness.The daily fee for usage of the CSFSP is currently $6, but is subject to change as those who run this little corner of land think its funny to charge an outrageous amount of money for a short visit

You could say trucks haven't changed much over the years. Slip under the skin of a new F-150, and you'll find its basic architecture isn't far removed from a Ford pickup built half a century ago. The reality, of course, is that everything has changed. Whether they're workhorses or personal transport, today's trucks are smoother, quieter, more powerful, more efficient, more comfortable, and--yes--tougher. More versatile, too: You can pick 'n' mix drivetrains, cabs, and beds to tailor most trucks to suit your personal duty cycle and your personality.
So the arrival of Honda's Ridgeline onto the U.S. truck market is an event of seismic significance. Honda has never built a truck before, and the Ridgeline doesn't so much break the rules of truck making, as blow them apart and drive over the bits. It's a unibody. It has a transverse-mounted engine. It has independent rear suspension. Can it really be a truck? Without a doubt, that was the key question to be answered during the 2006 Truck of the Year showdown.
There were others. Like whether DaimlerChrysler has continued its steady improvement of the Ram in its regular and heavy-duty iterations. Was Mitsubishi's Raider more than just a tasteful redesign of the Dodge Dakota? Could Isuzu spark consumer interest in its brand with a mildly remodeled and repackaged Chevy Colorado? And had the Lincoln Mark LT really turned one of America's great luxury marques into nothing more than a trim level on an F-150?
As usual, our evaluation began at the track, where each contender was run through the usual barrage of Motor Trend and Truck Trend performance tests. This year, though, we added a little extra. A lot extra, actually: The bed of each contender was filled to the manufacturer's specified MAXIMUM payload, and each truck was run again against the clock. The results, in terms of how much each of these trucks is rated to carry and how it performed with a full load, were revealing.
Track testing complete, we moved to the edge of the California high desert and a 27-mile road loop that combined freeway running, two-lane blacktop, town driving, and gnarly, corrugated dirt canyon road. Each judge was able to drive every truck over the same roads, noting performance, ride, handling, comfort, smoothness, and refinement. Only then did he vote, weighing up the raw data and subjective assessments against the three key criteria that define Truck of the Year: superiority, significance, and value.
So, how did our contenders do?
Maximum Payload Numbers Are a LieBy Mark Willams
Pickup makers have been cheating, and we've been misled. For years, manufacturers have given their vehicles a maximum payload number, meaning the total amount of weight it can carry. This number is calculated by taking the actual weight of the truck and subtracting it from the manufacturer's specified gross vehicle weight rating. By calculating this simple math problem, the unibody Honda Ridgeline ends up having more payload capacity (1510 pounds) than the heavy-duty Dodge Ram Mega Cab (1500 pounds).
However, this does need some explanation. Honda engineers knew they had to submit the maximum payload number specification, so they tested for maximum carrying capacity and certified the results. The problem is that it ignores the commonly understood (yet unspoken) practice of understating the maximum payload number. Pickup experts know that truck buyers will use the "maximum" number only as a starting point and most likely add more (if not a few full-size passengers as well). The result is that our Ram Mega Cab, with its maximum payload of 1500 pounds, didn't show much strain when fully loaded; however, with the Ridgeline at its 1510-pound limit, the rear coil springs were almost fully compressed, and we were shooting the headlights at the sky. Without specific definitions for "maximum," manufacturers can name the number they'd like. Right now, especially with heavy-duty pickups, the onus is on the truck buyer to figure out how far over or under they can go when loading their truck.
How Fast, How Short--What Our Testing Told UsBy Mark Willams
In the interest of full disclosure, it's important to find out not only how our test pickups perform when empty, but also at full capacity. We tested each vehicle's acceleration, braking, and quarter-mile times empty and loaded--to the truck's full capacity, according to the manufacturer's own specifications. Each truck was loaded with the appropriate number of bags of salt in 50-pound increments. This helped demonstrate which engines and braking systems degrade least when carrying a heavy load, presumably what these vehicles were designed to do. Worth noting is how much trouble the Ridgeline had carrying its load and how much shorter the stopping distance was in the Mega Cab when the heavy-duty truck had its load.
2006 Dodge Ram 1500A Familiar Face Masks an All-New PersonalityYou're probably wondering why we included the Ram 1500 in our 2006 Truck of the Year competition, especially since it looks nearly identical to the 2005 model. How different could it be from the previous year? A lot, to say the least. Besides minor alterations to the exterior--new headlights, a full chrome grille, revised bumpers, and a tailgate spoiler--the 2006 Ram has received significant upgrades under the skin, namely a fresh frame. While still hydroformed, the new architecture is stiffer--17 percent in bending, 5.5 percent in torsion--features a larger front crush zone and offers replaceable rail tips, similar to the Dakota's frame, for easier fender-bender repair. Bolted to the Ram's stronger bones is a heavily revised suspension, which sports retuned springs, bushings, and monotube dampers, as well as a new front control-arm, coil-over-shock setup on 4WD trims, which replaces the 2005's torsion bars. On-road, the benefits are immediately evident.
The 2006 Ram feels "more responsive and locked down around the high-speed turns," as one editor noted. Another opined, "Handling is quite good (dare I say fun?) in the tight road course." The ride, even with the huge 20-inch wheels and low-profile Goodyears, was compliant, making the reworked cabin--now with more insulation, thicker glass, triple door seals, and a new instrument panel with an available nav system--an even more enjoyable and quieter space to occupy. Off the blacktop, however, the Ram bounced over the bumps: More body control, please. Power for our tester came from Dodge's renowned 5.7-liter Hemi pushrod V-8, but the 2006 iteration now boasts improved fuel economy--14/18 versus 13/17--thanks to an integrated Multi-Displace-ment System, which deactivates four cylinders under light-throttle applications. With 345 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque channeled through a seamless five-speed automatic, the Ram delivered strong, immediate power as well as impressive numbers--0 to 60 in 8.6 seconds and the quarter mile in 16.5 at 83.8 mph. The 2006 Ram is the undoubtedly the best Ram ever and will keep Dodge in the run against all-new entries from GM and Toyota next year.
2005 Dodge Ram Mega CabMore Evidence That Bigger Is BetterWhile it's not often the common truck buyer needs one vehicle to tow nearly 16,000 pounds, pamper rear-seat passengers with more legroom than in a Maybach, or rumble from 0 to 60 in under 10 seconds, it doesn't hurt that Dodge now offers just such a hauler. With the Ram Mega Cab--available in the regular 1500 as well as the 2500 and 3500 heavy-duty configurations, with either a 5.7-liter Hemi or a 5.9-liter Cummins diesel (2500 and 3500 only)--Dodge has invented a new category, one that's ideal for big families with big needs or Shaq and four of his teammates. Compared with the Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 in this competition, our Mega Cab 2500 4x4 tester overshadowed its little brother by 20 inches in length and nearly three inches in height. Most of that 20-inch spread goes to the rear-seat legroom, a remarkable 44.2 inches, four more inches than in a Maybach 62 limo. Dodge doesn't distinguish between its regular-duty Rams and its bigger, tougher, industrial-strength models as Ford does.
The Ram 2500s and 3500s might look just like Ram 1500s, but they're different trucks under the skin. So perhaps more impressive than the Mega Cab's prom potential is the ability of the biggest Ram to quickly and adeptly gobble asphalt. With 325 horses on tap, not to mention a staggering 610 pound-feet of torque, from its 5.9-liter Cummins turbodiesel, the Mega Cab 2500 hit 60 in 9.7 seconds on the way to a quarter-mile time of 17.3 at 79.3 mph. Not too shabby for a rig that dents the scales with nearly four tons. Despite its size and weight, a wheelbase that spans over 13 feet, and relatively small 265 tires, the Mega Cab surprisingly pulled 0.71 g on the skidpad (matching the Ram 1500 with 20-inch rubber) and a 29.9-second time on the figure-eight course, just a tenth behind the 1500. Granted, the Mega Cab required an additional 21 feet to stop from 60 compared with the 1500, but otherwise, there's not much of a performance trade-off, especially in light of the 2500 model's towing (12,300 pounds) and payload (1500 pounds) prowess. Unfortunately, our Mega Cab also packed a mega hit to the wallet--$54,250--which was just too mega to take the trophy.
2006 Isuzu i-350Just Like Chevy's Colorado with a Better WarrantyThe basis for Chevy's Colorado and GMC's Canyon midsize pickups, all-new models last year, was originally designed over 10 years ago by Isuzu's engineering team. General Motors took the project in-house to make the look more U.S.-market friendly. The 4WD transfer case, with the longest powertrain warranty in the segment (seven years/75,000 miles), and the buttons to engage it on the dash remained Isuzu designs--imagine what these trucks might've looked like if Isuzu had had more control over the finished product. Functionally and architecturally, these trucks are the same as the Chevy and GMC midsizers. Isuzu will get about 10,000 units of the i-280 (four-cylinder) and i-350 (five-cylinder) midsizers, split between extended and crew cab configurations. Our test unit was a fairly loaded LS Crew Cab with the "big" motor and four-speed auto. Most editors agreed that the i-350 rode like an honest truck (meaning the ladder-frame construction gives it a solid feel), but it offered nothing in particular to set it apart from the competitors in its class. The I-5, a version of the stout Vortec 4200 I-6 minus one cylinder, offers good throttle response off the line, but runs out of breath quickly. The four-speed auto is a GM unit that's been in service for two decades (the 4L60E) and should've been updated with a fifth gear. That the seats allow the driver to slide during energetic cornering isn't a pickup-truck strength.
A significant amount of attention went into seals and insulation, cutting out many of the high- and low-end road noises--this could be the quietest small truck in its class. The i-350 has a healthy 1120-pound payload (more than the half-ton Ram and V-8 Raider), but a meager towing capacity of 4000 pounds. Do they think nobody tows when shopping in this category? The beefy warranty is nice, but not enough to overcome the inconveniences caused by Isuzu's small dealer network and fewer model and equipment choices relative to its GM cousins. An obligatory price break most import clones offer when compared with their donor siblings should be expected--our unit's $28K price tag doesn't exactly up the ante in this category.
2006 Lincoln Mark LTAll Dressed Up, and Now, Some Place To GoLincoln's second foray into the pickup market is a much better execution than its first. Remember the Blackwood? The Mark LT is a more down-to-earth design, with practical capabilities that allow it to work like a truck if needed, something the Blackwood wasn't able to offer. Based on a fully equipped Ford F-150 SuperCrew platform, the Mark LT is identical in structure. Included are the obligatory unique grille, badging, chrome accents, and wheel options--nice, but perhaps not differentiated enough to merit the Lincoln nameplate. There is enough interior opulence here to attract buyers wanting something other than a Cadillac Escalade EXT. Available in 2WD and 4WD, the Mark LT's most significant changes involve Ebony wood accents and a cream-color Nudo leather (black is available as well).
The interior layout is similar to the F-150's: split captain's chairs, flat-faced dash, center-console transmission shifter. Several testers, who hadn't driven the Mark LT before, expected a Navigator SUV-type interior, with its unique dash and satin-nickel finishes. Among this field of five-, six-, and eight-cylinder competitors, the Mark LT had the slowest 0-to-60 time of the bunch, although midrange power and passing abilities are fine. It's tuned for smooth highway driving.
Unfortunately, the Mark LT had trouble keeping composed, evidencing axle-hop and front-end wander on rougher pavement and rutted dirt-road stretches. And the Lincoln's not cheap, starting at around $40,000 and climbing quickly. Ford aims to sell around 15,000 units. Big question: If Ford is sure there's a market here--and Cadillac seems to be doing well with it--why not inject some distinction (and more power) into a luxury-branded product that's supposed to make its buyers feel special? The LT serves as an uplevel trim package for the F-150, but does little else to justify the badge and the price.
2006 Mitsubishi RaiderBack in the Game with a Fresh Face and Strong V-8Mitsu is promoting the Raider as the only import V-8 alternative for buyers who don't want a full-size truck. It's offered in a number of configurations, thanks in large part to sharing its underthings with the Dodge Dakota. Another in this year's clone of-the-year competition (the others being the Lincoln LT and Isuzu i-280/i-350), the Raider 4.7-liter V-8 and five-speed combination didn't perform as its displacement and cylinder number had us expecting, matching the Lincoln's last-place quarter-mile time (17.3 seconds). Maybe this shouldn't have been a surprise, as the engine offers only 10 more horsepower than the Isuzu 3.5-liter I-5 and 17 horses less than the Ridgeline's DOHC 3.5-liter V-6. It wasn't the smallest or lightest truck in our test, but it had the smallest payload capacity at 970 pounds. That works out to be 220 pounds less than the Isuzu's and over 500 pounds less than the Ridgeline's.
All isn't doom and gloom for the Raider, however. The design surgery Mitsubishi performed to round the wheel arches and smooth the creases and corners, handsomely sets the Raider apart from the Dakota. Mitsubishi negotiated serious interior changes that resculpted the Dodge's blocky dash layout in favor of a more sloping, waterfall-type deck top. The result is more openness for the driver and front passenger. Our test unit came equipped with the DuroCross option package that includes upgraded shocks, fender flares, big wheels and tires, and a host of stickers and labels. Ride balance and suspension tuning are well equipped to handle the higher-speed pavement twists as well as the Baja-style washboard ruts on our test loops.
Although the five-speed tranny likes to hunt on long hillclimbs, the dual upshift/kickdown second-gear strategy works well, technically turning this five-speed into a six-speed. Among the brand-engineered competitors, this execution was our favorite, injecting enough unique personality to distinguish it from the donor platform, while maintaining, or even improving on, the strengths of the original powertrain and chassis. This type of execution--solid, if not outstanding--will help Mitsu get back on track.

Title: | Masculinization of African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) Treated with Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) |

Citation: | Turan, F., & Cek, S. (2007). Masculinization of African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) Treated with Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris). The Israeli Journal of Aquaculture - Bamidgeh, 59(4), 224-229. |
Abstract: | The present paper describes the effects of Tribulus terrestris, a masculinization agent, on the sex reversal of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus. One-day-old hatchlings were immersed in water containing an extract of T. terrestris at a rate of 0, 3, 6, or 9 g/30 l water for 30 days. The 9 g treatment resulted in 80.42% male populations. Morphological and histological examinations of the gonads in all groups revealed no intersex fish. Histological examination of fish treated with T. terrestris revealed no damage to the testes or ovaries. Despite differences in sex ratio, growth rate, ovaries, and testes, fish treated with T. terrestris were histologically similar to fish from the control groups. Survival ranged from 72% in the 3 g group to 80% in the 9 g during treatment and did not significantly differ from the control (p>0.05). The best growth was obtained in the 9 g treatment. |

Who we are and what we do!
We strengthen the capacities of individuals, organizations, and communities to act on their shared visions and challenges.
Our faculty has strong disciplinary training in such fields as communication, education, and sociology and takes pride in their disciplinary homes. When it comes to our overall focus, however, we are moving beyond the disciplinary approach of the past. Believing it best represents contemporary approaches to 21st century reality, we are more about the processes of functioning effectively in community and fostering ethical leadership.
Emphasis areas.
Community and organizational development
Community communication
Agricultural education
Community-based education
Leadership development
We value, encourage, and foster:
• learning - enhancing access to educational opportunities for all; • engagement - collaborating with diverse institutions, communities, and people to improve lives; and
• discovery - expanding knowledge through research.
Our History Formed in the then College of Agriculture in 2002, the Department of Community & Leadership Development brought faculty from rural sociology, agricultural education, agricultural communication, and program and staff development together in one unit. Forming a new department out of our constituent pieces has meant changes for each and some firsts not only for the department but in the history of the College of Agriculture at the University of Kentucky. For example, both our undergraduate and graduate degree programs have been reorganized to better integrate and utilize the resources of the entire department; the agricultural communications program has been refocused on community communication to highlight the fundamental role of communication in both community and leadership development; and programs which were previously instruction-based (community communication and agricultural education) now contain active and successful research components.
Location We are located on floors 3, 5, and 7 of the W. P. Garrigus Bldg. on the University of Kentucky campus at 325 Cooper Dr. (Corner of Nicholasville Road and Cooper Drive) in Lexington KY. Reception and information is in 510.

We'll be honest:
We weren't huge fans of Pretty Little Liars Season 4 Episode 19. The concept was sort of cool and the visuals were terrific. But, at the end of the hour, not a lot actually transpired. The plot didn't advance all that much.
There was some quality Pretty Little Liars music, though; we'll give the installment props for adding to its soundtrack in a number of winning ways.

Christopher Cox, age 38, the principal of Snake River Junior High, has been arrested on two counts of felony sexual abuse of a minor, according to Bingham County Sheriff Dave Johnson. He was booked into jail at 3 p.m. He will be arraigned at 9 a.m. today. After receiving a complaint from a student who has since moved to Wyoming, a Bingham County detective interviewed the victim and subsequently began an investigation, Johnson said. "After Cox was interviewed, charges were filed," Johnson said. Each count carries a sentence of 25 years in the Idaho State Penitentiary and a fine of $50,000.
AMMON — All season long the Blackfoot Broncos have shown the ability to pull themselves up by the boot straps for thrilling come from behind finishes. Tuesday nights opening round district tournament game was not one of those instances however as the Broncos fell behind early, and never threatened as the home standing Hillcrest Knights sent Blackfoot to the left side of the tournament bracket with a 79-58 victory.
SHELLEY- The Shelley Russets opened district tournament play on Tuesday night as they hosted the Bonneville Bees. Shelley took control early and then cruised home with a 24-point victory as they opened their sixth district tournament play with a 63-39 opening round win.
Winkler TV & Satellite has moved to a new location. The Blackfoot business has moved to 360 W. Judicial, behind the electronic billboard. Winklers have been in business in Blackfoot for 35 years. "We moved into a better location with more traffic," Carl Winkler said. "We've moved here to get more business." Trained in the early 60s as a television repairman, Winkler has seen a lot of change in the field. Instead of tubes, today's flat panel televisions have modular components, Winkler said.
Members of the Blackfoot Urban Redevelopment Agency (BURA) approved extending their purview on Tuesday. It will now include additional property beyond the Downtown area. Pursuant to Idaho Code, BURA voted to extend the boundaries of the parts of the city eligible for the funding of projects designed "to prevent and arrest decay." They also voted to extend the time frame for the existence of the BURA project for 10 more years. It was originally scheduled to expire later this year. The Blackfoot City Council has the final say and will vote on BURA's actions on March 6.
Edwin Jones, 85, passed away on February 13, 2012 at the Lost Rivers Hospital Extended Care Center in Arco. Funeral arrangements are pending under the direction of the Anderson Family Funeral Home in Arco.
Minerva Osborne, 80, of Gibson passed away Sunday, Feb. 12, 2012 in Pocatello, Idaho. Minerva was born Oct. 6, 1931 in Fort Hall to James Osborne Sr. and Jesse Sequints Osborne. She attended Stewart Indian School in Carson City, Nev., until the 10th grade and later received her GED at the age of 50. Minerva held various jobs for the tribe. In her free time she enjoyed traditional hand games, Bingo, beadworking, camping and watching basketball. Most of all she enjoyed her grandchildren and her Native American traditions.
Police Log
Items of note from Feb. 6-12.
Blackfoot Police
THEFT: Feb. 6, 10:28 p.m.: A woman said she was at Ridley's and a juvenile stole $125 from her purse.
DOESN'T LIKE DONUTS: Feb. 7, 6:56 p.m.: A woman said she nearly hit a vehicle that came onto the interstate and did a "donut" in the middle of the ramp.
EMPLOYEE THEFT: Feb. 8, 12:09 p.m.: A caller at Maverik requested an officer because they have a video of an employee stealing $250.
The Firth Cougars shook off a low-scoring first half with a pair of big runs in the second half as they took care of business on the first game of the 2A Nuclear Conference Tournament with a 55-34 victory over North Fremont. "Give North Fremont credit, they've played us tough all three times that they have played us this year," Firth head coach Scott Adams said. "We have a lot of inexperienced kids playing in their first district tournament game and we probably came out a little nervous."
Cass William Tendore, age 27, of Pocatello, appeared with his attorney Monday before Senior District Judge Gregory Anderson on a motion to suppress charges against him. Count two, possession of a controlled substance, was dismissed. The report from the State Lab said there was no controlled substance in the baggy found on Tendore's person. Tendore was arrested at the Eastern Idaho State Fair in September 2011. He was charged with trafficking a controlled substance, three counts of carrying a concealed weapon without a license and criminal trespass from the fairgrounds.

Hi guys,
sorry to be retarded, but I've never layed a hand on a mac in my life until today, and I was trying (unsuccessfully to decompress a .rar file). Any guidance on how/what/where to compress/decompress .rar/.zip files?
ps: I already miss winzip!
Also this should probably be in the Off Topic forum.
Yeah my bad. Can an admin please move this? Thanks a lot for the tip, but I've found an app which seems to be doing its job so far.
The Unarchiver is available for free directly on the Mac App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-unarchiver/id425424353?mt=12It's really awesome, I have it set up so that you just double click the archive and it creates a folder with the same name, extracts the contents there and then automatically moves the archive into Trash. I forgot all about WinZip after this app. It sits in the background too, no clutter anywhere.
Thanks a lot guys, I've tried both and they seem the better versions of what I had found. While we're at it, could you recommend some very useful apps you couldn't live without?

Eve's Spice Cake Recipe
Submitted By:
from Glendale Heights.Eve's Spice Cake Notes
This has been a family favorite since 1950. My grandmother gave me the recipe, when I married and moved to Illinois from Germany. Grandma Trudl would serve it topped with powdered sugar, but my family loves it with a cream cheese/butter frosting. I have also added Garam Masala and freshly ground pepper.
All the spices are from the Spice House. It gets better the longer you let it sit hidden away. If you can.....
- For the Cake:
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup unsulphured molasses
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2-3 Tablespoons ground ginger
- 2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon ground allspice
- 1-2 Tablespoons ground garam masala
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 cup water
- 1 Tablespoon baking soda
- For the Icing:
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla bean paste
Serves / Yields
12 servings
Preparation Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Line a 9 x 13 inch cake pan with parchment paper. You can secure the paper by placing a dab of butter in each corner and onto the center bottom of the pan.
In a medium size bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, molasses. Add the eggs and whisk until smooth.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, garam masala and pepper.
Whisk the molasses mixture into the flour mixture until evenly combined.
In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the baking soda. Whisk the hot water into the batter until just combined. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake in the center of the oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
Cool the cake in the pan on a rack. After cake has cooled apply the icing.

I recently spent a day with IBM's x86 team, primarily to get back up to speed on their entire x86 product line, and partially to realign my views of them after spending almost five years as a direct competitor. All in all, time well spent, with some key takeaways:

Some of you may recognize the guy at the front as Fireman Sam, the eponymous "hero next door" of the BBC children's program set in the fictional Welsh town of Pontypandy. What does he have to do with software licensing?
Yesterday I spoke about software licensing trends to a group of customers, prospects, and partners of licensing optimization vendor Flexera. One of my key messages was that software asset managers (SAMs) must move on from reactive firefighting via fire prevention (both of which I call "Fireman SAM") to a more proactive management of license needs (which I call "license optimization"). Fireman Sam uses traditional asset inventory and hard disk discovery tools to try to measure software usage, compare it with license entitlement, and rectify any shortfalls. Fireman Sam's arch enemy is License Audit Bill.
In contrast, a more mature process adds analysis of what licenses you really need to the data on usage and ownership. This information enables software sourcing managers to cut expenditure on excess licenses and over-specified versions. For example, Flexera's product for SAP enables customers to put users in the right categories, thereby minimizing the purchase of more expensive "full user" licenses.
Best Software License Management Considers Three Questions

Part of managing your brand is making sure that your customer service experience is consistent across all touchpoints that you use to interact with a company – traditional ones such as voice, email, chat, web self-service and now the social interaction channels.
What does a "consistency of experience" mean? It means that:

Clients frequently tell us how much they value connecting with their peers. A few years ago we created the Forrester Leadership Boards Sourcing & Vendor Management Council to serve that need. But in the age of social technologies and interconnectedness there are valuable conversations you can have with peers who aren't part of that private community. So this week we launched The Forrester Community For Sourcing & Vendor Management Professionals.
The community is open to all Sourcing & Vendor Management Professionals, whether you're a Forrester client or not. Check out the community and you'll see conversations focused on the key business challenges that you face every day. The community is a place for you to exchange ideas, opinions, and real-world solutions with each other. Our Forrester Leadership Board teammate Sara Dupuis is managing the community, helping facilitate the discussions. Forrester analysts will also participate and share their views.
Here's what you'll find:

KANA Software, most well known for its suite of enterprise-class multichannel customer service software (email, knowledge) released last year a new type of solution: Service Experience Management (SEM). This product allows the extension of business process management to the front office and is poised to compete with solutions offered by Pegasystems and Sword Ciboodle. BPM coupled with customer service is a trend that Forrester is seeing, as it enforces agent consistency, productivity, and compliance with policy; we have just published a research paper about this trend.
KANA announced today that it has reached a definitive agreement to purchase a company called Lagan, which is a leader in case management solutions for government, specifically local governments. Lagan has solutions for Web self-service and case management that are used in cities like Toronto, Boston, and Vancouver for 311 (informational) calls.
This acquisition holds geographic coverage promise — it will allow KANA to increase its European footprint, which has recently been very small, and Lagan to gain a good foothold in the US and compete in larger government opportunities.

In a rather unsurprising move, Oracle acquired its longtime OEM partner of eSSO solutions, Passlogix. The sale has closed after a relatively long courtship – the eSSO market has been consolidating for a long time: Novell's OEM agreement with ActivIdentity, IBM's acquisition of Encentuate all signal IAM stack consolidation. Beyond the obvious — 1) eSSO integration with Oracle Access Manager and Oracle Adaptive Access Manager to integrate with web single sign on, 2) a multitude of second factor and adaptive authentication mechanisms using v-GO User Access Manager, and 3) using v-GO SSO's screenscraping technology to create Oracle Identity Manager connectors to arcane, no-CLI systems — large tasks remain for Oracle: a) providing access management for mobile devices and b) getting to be a credible player in Privileged User Management (where Passlogix's v-GO Shared Accounts Manager is a second-tier player).

CityOne, IBM's new Smarter City Simulation game, is interesting. But who will really play?
IBM introduced a new Smarter City Simulation game yesterday. I took a few minutes to play around with it. I love the idea. It is SimCity meets Smarter City, and together they make CityOne. Players are presented with challenges faced by decision-makers in Retail, Banking, Energy and Water industries within a city. They start with a budget for each industry. And, for each challenge, they are provided with a list of recommended actions and must choose among them. Each action has a cost and associated benefits. Some are more "right" than others, earning bonus credits and increasing customer satisfaction and other key performance indicators, as well as earning special awards. A player likely knows not to pick the "Ignore the problem" option. Yet, when in doubt you can also query a consultant for additional advice.
My sense was that the "right" answers seemed pretty obvious. However, that said, I certainly didn't get a high score. And, when I got to the end of my ten turns, I was feeling pretty overwhelmed by the issues across these industries.

A couple of days ago, global banking platform vendor Temenos announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire Odyssey Financial Technologies, which specializes in the private banking, private wealth management, and asset subverticals of financial services. The deal is expected to close around mid October: Temenos will pay more than 60 million euros and take on Odyssey's existing debt obligations of more than 20 million euros. Here is my initial reaction to the planned acquisition.
On the asset side, Temenos will get the private banking platform Triple'A Plus, portfolio management and decision support solution WealthManager, plus clients such as Banque Cantonale Vaudoise, Delta Lloyd, and RBS Coutts Bank. This will help Temenos accomplish the necessary extension to its private banking footprint: In spite of prominent private banking clients such as EFG Bank, over the past few years Temenos' T24 has not been as successful in the private banking/wealth management arena as, for example, ERI Bancaire, SunGard, or Tata Consultancy Services Financial Solutions as far as new named customers are concerned — not to mention the various regional private banking pure players.
At the same time, the Odyssey solutions will add additional technologies and architecture to Temenos' already existing acquired portfolio: Not considering the two "classic" Temenos banking platforms T24 and TCB and the mobile solutions of recently acquired specialist vendor FE-Mobile, Temenos acquired multiple smaller banking platform vendors over the past few years, including Financial Objects in the UK and Viveo in France, plus further firms such as business intelligence and reporting vendor Lydian Associates.

My research team at Forrester helps tech vendor strategists anticipate and navigate in rapidly changing market environments. We can't take a siloed view on specific product and service categories, but rather broaden our perspective in order to trace cross-market dynamics around key issues such as sustainability, globalization, collaboration, mobility, and cloud. This puts tech vendors in better positions to act on emerging demand signals, competitive scenarios, and opportunities to select best-fit partner, channel, or acquisition targets.
The market for dedicated solutions and services that help companies manage their energy, emissions, and overall sustainability strategy is still nascent. The evolution of sustainability at larger software and IT service vendors started with their internal efforts, which is an important factor framing their portfolio and go-to-market strategies.
As a result, there are still a significant number of vendors that are converting their internal capabilities to analyze, define, and implement sustainability into customer-facing software and/or service portfolios. These portfolios of services go well beyond green IT, increasingly focused to serve clients wrestling with hot topics such as enterprise carbon and energy management (ECEM), green supply chain, and sustainability performance management.
My colleague, Daniel Krauss, and I have recently completed a comprehensive round of interviews and analysis with many different players offering sustainability consulting services, including software, IT and business services, hardware, and even industrial companies (see Figure 1).
The Forrester Vendor Strategy Professionals team is excited to introduce a new way for strategists and marketers at tech suppliers to discuss and offer advice on their peers' most pressing challenges and opportunities. We have launched an online community for vendor strategy professionals as the premier destination for leaders to exchange ideas, opinions, and real-world solutions with each other. Our team of analysts will also be part of the community, helping facilitate the discussions and sharing their views.
The community is open to all strategists at ICT industry suppliers (Forrester client or not).
I encourage you to become part of the community:

Totally agree with you, although it is probably mostly due to his Buckeye roots. I thought they showed a good amount of improvement this year, although there wasn't anywhere else to go but up from where Danny Hope left their program talent-wise.
I was going to comment this as well, I feel like every time he makes this signal, he is replaced by the backup either that play or the next play. I'm not positive that this is actually the reason, I just notice it because it means I get to look forward to some Rod Smith (or Jones) action!
The only thing that really surprises me with this depth chart is Billy Price getting the start again. If I recall correctly, Hale came in for much of the second half and that is when the offensive line (and as a result the offense as a whole) performed much better.
Honestly, I would have to say Braxton's passing late in the year is what I believe our biggest weakness will be. I was having this discussion yesterday and brought up how badly I remember his passing having regressed in the latter part of last season. He didn't believe me, so I went and looked it up, and in 3 of the last 4 B10 games, his completion percentage was woeful (below 50%). I don't claim to know the cause of this, if for example Herman's overreliance on the run crippled his passing rhythm, but I know for a fact that we cannot have these passing performances happen again this season in order for it to turn out as successfully as we all want.
I do think he has a point that he has an unrivaled highlight reel. However, I don't think he deserved the Heisman, not that Manti Te'o does either (I would much rather have Jarvis Jones on my team, for example, and Te'o's stats are nothing spectacular when a Wisconsin FB has forced more fumbles on the year than he has.)
Personally, my top two would be Colin Klein and Marquise Lee.
great article off a dominating performance, although Mr. Scott's double-double was with assists and not rebounds, which may have been even more impressive

If you are concerned about the buying clothes inclued in the tally ignore that one and vote yes or no for Open Restaurants and the Barista backs, where your Sims can go have coffee that produces higher energy levels and or your Sim can work behind the coffee bar for extra money. The Clothes Idea is because I miss Sims shopping. I didn't like the loading of CAS either. But Sims ought to have to spend money to get new clothes. These Sims are to pampered. But something special like H&M clothes or some other branded content could be at a store/register where Sims could shop and browse. No Rabbit Hole!
